About My Uncle Napoleon
An uproarious adoption of a popular novel by Iraj Pezeshkzad set in and around the family compound in early 1940s Tehran, marvelously rich in personality and incident. The title character, so-called because of his constant invocation of the general, rules over a wonderfully complex extended family. A hilarious series which makes fun of just about everything.
Directed by —, My Uncle Napoleon leans on a strong ensemble — Saeed Kangarani, Gholamhossein Naghshineh, Parviz Fanizadeh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1976.
